What a gorgeous mat! It's so soft and almost cooling. I absolutely love it and don't mind spending a little bit extra on a nice quality may.
I also LOVE the strap that it comes with so I can just roll it up and head out to the park for some fresh air and some sun salutations. It's so beautiful, I could not possibly express how much I love this mat.
If you have issues slipping then you can get a cheap 99cent spray bottle and spray a light mist of water to prevent this. I just use the condensation from my water bottle to wet my hands, then my natural sweat beats down like a disgusting salty waterfall and that is usually plenty to keep me from slipping.
I will note I haven't had it long enough to wash yet, so if it totally falls apart then I will revise my post and show pictures if that happens.
I also want to note that I am very happy I decided on the Lite, much easier to move around and the quality is top notch. VERY pleased with my purchase. Shipping was about 3 days with Prime.

I have since washed it after a muddy camping trip on a cold delicate cycle and it came out clean and shiny again. Not a single rip, no faded colors and no separation from the plush microfiber top and padding underneath.
It just simply is the most gorgeous and sturdy mat I've ever had the pleasure of owning!!
Have only washed it twice since receiving it, and it is like I said above, on a cold/delicate cycle. So if your washed is not capable and you use it for hot yoga and it needs to be washed more I would be concerned. Only because it is not a cheap mat, and I wouldn't use this if I had to beat it up in the washer every other day. It's just too nice in my opinion. But if you're into daily yoga and like to take your mat on every little adventure that only requires once a month washing and a light disinfectant spray in between, then THIS is your mat! :-)
**Also I added two more pics that demonstrates during the muddy yoga adventure, and then after washing it. It's still bright and gorgeous!**
